I Was Lured Into Robbery By Agents Of The Devil –
Robbery Suspect
An
alleged notorious armed robber cum car snatcher identified as Okolie Joseph has
said that he was lured into armed robbery by agents of the devil. He stated
this at the Police headquarters, Asaba, Delta State where he was paraded
alongside others by the Police commissioner, Alkali Baba Usman.
“I was lured into armed robbery by
bad friends. In fact, these friends are agents of the devil. So, I can
correctly say that the devil initiated me into armed robbery. This very
robbery, I never participated in it. I only gave information on the woman (the
victim) while others who are smarter than me, now at large, did the robbery.
“I was in a terrible situation, so I
went to my friends for help but none of them could help, instead they asked me
to join them in what they do and use my sense and hands to get the financial
help I was asking for. Having no other option for financial assistance, they
introduced me to armed robbery, particularly snatching of cars.
“Being a first timer, I refused to
follow them to the action ground. So, they put me in their intelligence
gathering unit and that was how I gave them information on the victim, who
stays in the same area with me in Warri, Delta State.
“After I gave the information, I
went my way while they carried out the operation. They targeted the victim as
she was going out because I had given them detailed information about her.
“So, they trailed her, blocked her
at gun point and robbed her of her Lexus Jeep RX 350, but I don’t know how they
got the plasma television sets in the car.
“After they snatched the car, they
called me and said that they had done their own side of the job and that the
remaining job was to drive the car to Lagos, Benin or Onitsha where they
intended to sell it,” he explained.
According to him, “Having it in mind
to raise some money from the sale of the stolen car, and in serious financial
captivity, I obliged and agreed to drive the car to where they asked me to take
the car to, then I was arrested…… Leadership
